lol I still don't see what the prob is.... 3rd in our goal kicking behind taz and ant both play key positions foward and dids plays a cameo forward pocket...... most eggsperts rate a good forward pocket as one that kicks 20+ gaols a season, dids has ALLREADY kicked more than that this season, he has more than filled the spot the nd left and I can't wait to see Dids when he's played a 100 games. Like I said can't see the prob.

The problem is Magpie mad, he has been inconsistent the past few weeks and hasn't lived up to expectations from the Wizard Cup. He kicked a lot of goals in the Wizard Cup and has failed to kick a bag this year. He is capable of doing this

well m8 thats your opinion, not to many of the boys have been "consistant" over the last few weeks, and Dids has been spending a bit of time on the pine, as has molly who's kicked less goals than Dids......
alot of these guys are still kids and they will keep on improving their consitancy over the next coulpe of season. paitence

I agree with what the_weed has said but I still think Dids could learn a lot from Byron Pickett. Of course not the volitile stuff, no one needs that. I see a natural flair that needs to be encouraged and developed and watching Pickett on Sunday was sensational. Check out this article on him in the Herald Sun.

Lets hope that he as turned the corner with tonights confidence booster.
I think his biggest problem is that mullet he has grown or is growing.
I can see Greg Anderson or Van Da Har getting jealous already.

See what happens when you leave Dids on for a full game?

About bloody time Malthouse!

Let him work into the game, not drag him every 10 minutes.

But do you have to start him on the bench all the time?
